When I was growing up, I remember Valentine's Day always being a big celebration in school. Every kid would bring in a box and put it on their desk, ready for all of the cards they would receive. When the teacher gave the cue, the students would go from table to table distributing their cards. Then we would share heart-shaped cookies and red and pink colored cupcakes. This break from the usual was always so exciting for everyone, but for me - big downer - it was awful. My parents were too poor to afford...

The triple crochet stitch is not a stitch I use very often. I can think of maybe a handful of times that I have used it. Its long posts make for a rather unique appearance and crochet up with larger spaces than is normally desired. But my son is going to be showing us a Valentine's Day project in an upcoming video that includes this stitch, so I'm going to show you how to make it! The triple crochet stitch is not difficult, especially if you've been following along with our tutorials on our YouTube channel, Happy...

Today we are going to make a clay model of a plum. This is the 3rd model from the book, A Manual of Clay Modelling by Hermione Unwin. A few weeks ago, we thought it would be a good idea to work through all 60 models in the book, despite never having done clay modelling before. As we settle into a routine with this, we are quickly conquering the apprehensions that we had originally felt. Apprehensions Towards Clay Modelling Apprehensions, fears and reservations toward starting with clay modelling can be very overwhelming. They can even completely prevent...

DOWNLOAD YOUR FREE PDF PATTERN HERE If you've been following us in our Happy Handicrafts Crochet Series, you'll know that we've created some beautiful items so far, all without a pattern. We chose to avoid written patterns initially for several reasons. First of all, reading a crochet pattern is like reading a foreign language. If you're not familiar with all of the terminology and lingo, adding a pattern to our learning curve will only cause frustration and overwhelm. I also wanted you to see how crochet works without a pattern. If you can visualize the shape...

We've decided to tackle the book, A Manual of Clay Modelling by Hermione Unwin, with its 60 different models. We have no experience in clay modelling, so we're entering into this experience with a little trepidation and some feelings of overwhelm. Are we crazy to commit to 60 models? Our first model was an orange. The setup was almost as involved as the execution. The cleanup was even more involved. However, the process of clay modelling was absolutely enjoyable. For some reason, it's soothing to have your hands in dirt and water. ...

It's time to make a crocheted hat to match our scarf that we recently made. Isn't it exciting to have a matching set that is so unique to you that no one else in the entire world has?! Now there are an innumerable number of crocheted hat patterns out there, ranging from small to large, ugly to adorable, and simple to difficult. We're going to skip all of that and learn how to customize a hat to whatever size you want. I really mean it - from infant to adult. And the best part? You will not need a pattern! I...
